“Bridgman once again takes the reader on a wild ride through an imaginary world.”-Resource Links
Product Description
In this rollicking fishy tale, two eleven-year old cousins, Sophie and Wil, uncover a secret plot by the Serpent's Chain - an ancient, magical secret society- to seize Manitoba's Legislative Building (or as it is known in Middle Gate, the Palace of the Blazing Star). The children try to unlock the Palace's hidden code, aided by a homeless women with long whiskers and fishy stench who lives by the river. This woman, though, is none other than Catfysh herself, the Spirit of the River. Stone lions, cow skulls, bison and sphinxes and even a stone Medusa spring to life to help the children save the Palace of the Blazing Star

This review is from: Fish and Sphinx (Paperback)
What a wonderful, fishy book! Everywhere Will and Sophie go, there are FISH! Smelly, tasty, and very swimmy fish.
In the third installment of the MIDDLEGATE series by Rae Bridgman, the two eleven-year-old cousins, Will and Sophie, help prevent a takeover by the Serpent's Chain of the Manitoba Legislative Building. The twins start back to school and everywhere they go and look there are references to fish. There are fish carved into the sculptures and they suddenly come to life. They meet a mysterious homeless woman named Catfysh. She appears to them periodically and finally, in the spring, she turns them into fish and they swim under the river and magically swim into the Legislative Building. There they save the building from the Serpent Chain takeover. I enjoyed the further adventures of Will and Sophie. They have become very good friends and the author has given them another set of twins to be friends with. Aunt Rue is having problems at work, and Aunt Violet has opened up her own fortune telling shop in Manitoba. There, the author has introduced some very interesting characters. I especially liked when the children became fish. It was interesting to see the river from the point of view of a fish. I liked how the fish talked. Now I am waiting the next installment, which I think will be centered in Iceland! Reviewed by: Marta Morrison
